Meet The Filthy Youth

January 29th, 2008

Okay, so I like usually never blog about anything other than gossip but I just can’t help myself with this one. I’ve been listening to this AMAZING band nonstop. They’re called The Filthy Youth and they’re from England (yum!). They are just so incredibly good (and totally cute!). I’ve been playing their songs on repeat for the past few weeks. You all need to listen to them too. You can find The Filthy Youth’s music on their Myspace page: www.myspace.com/thefilthyyouth. Become their friend and start listening. Trust me, you’ll love it!

Spotted

January 28th, 2008

Spotted: S and B getting into a cab at the downtown heliport. They had like A TON of luggage. Was B trying to make a fast getaway to escape from all the drama? Hmm… J at Barney’s with her new group of friends. She was trying on a pair of Sigerson Morrison flats (they were on sale). C drinking at the bar at The Palace. Surprisingly, he looked kind of sad. Aw C, upset about your huge fight with your bff? N smoking in Central Park. Seemed pretty confused (more than usual for him). D at Kim’s Video picking up a DVD. He had a huge smile on his face. Um, D you’re alone in a video store at night and you’re happy? Did you just get some good news or something? WTF?
